Maybe a silly question, but is there a gimp function to "scale" a selection or a path?
Like an image or a layer...
Thanks
Edit: found (scale tool, keep aspect, transform selection).
This is true for all "geometric transform" tools: rotation, shear, perspective, etc... However, since selection and paths are image-wide these tools aren't always very easy to use on the selection/path. Trick: use the "Link" icon on the path and on a matching layer, and apply the transform on the layer, which will be replicated on the path. Typical usage: apply text to a perspective object. Using the Perspective tool on the text layer will make the text blurry. So use Text-to-path to create a path from the text layer, click the link icon on the text layer and the path, and apply the perspective on the text layer. Once done, hide the text layer and use the path (selection+bucket-fill...)
